Install Paperwork on Ubuntu

In this article, we will explain how to install Paperwork on an Ubuntu 16.04 VPS with MariaDB, PHP-FPM and Nginx. Paperwork is an open-source, self-hosted alternative to services like Evernote, Microsoft OneNote or Google Keep and it is built on top of Laravel 4.2. This guide should work on other Linux VPS systems as well but was tested and written for an Ubuntu 16.04 VPS.

Open http://myPaperwork.com/ in your favorite web browser and you should see the Paperwork install screen. On this page you’ll need to enter the database details you created earlier, and create an admin user.

That’s it. You have successfully installed Paperwork on your Ubuntu 16.04 VPS. For more information about how to manage your Paperwork installation, please refer to the official Paperwork documentation.

Of course you don’t have to do any of this if you use one of our Linux VPS Hosting services, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to setup this for you. They are available 24×7 and will take care of your request immediately.
